On Saturday, Will and I cruised down to the grand ol' annual Davis celebration, Picnic Day.
Picnic Day is a very serious thing here in Davis. It is best understood as two simultaneous, yet very different, parties that take over the entire campus and downtown.
First, you have approximately 50,000 people engaged in family friendly activities like cow-milking and doxie racing:
Then, you have an additional 50,000 people who are sozzled. Completely, utterly sloshed. The bars open at 6 AM and many are lucky to make it past noon. People under 30 generally go to Picnic Day, but have a very difficult time remembering Picnic Day.
We joined both parties and then spent the evening in the arboretum, enjoying the gorgeous weather, watching the battle of the bands, drinking Bud Light, and dancing to Thriller.
Y'all should so join us next year!
Fabulous! Anyone that has dachsie races is good in my book!!!

Picnic Day is the best!! I had such a great time, and my 3 year old nephew was just exhausted by the time we made it home!
